Size work loads for performance test only

Provide recommendations on cpu request and memory request based on performance test schedule .  

Scenarios : 

1. Spikey type of transactions like sending event notifications via email to other apps/customers. This demands for higher cpu/mem resources from containers to support spike data, but resources are idle rest of the time. This causes unnecessary hold of container resources.

In a QA/Test/PreProd environment we have long periods of time when testing is not happening and workloads are idle.  When the workloads do need to be used for testing they have been sized down and often times cannot start.  We need to be able to size these workloads based on specified time periods of use (performance test/regression test/load test) and only make recommendations around that timeframe, and not the timeframe when they were sitting idle and not being used.

    Thanks Sudarshana for taking the time to submit this Idea. An initial clarifying question on the ask, for such workloads could you not just remove the limits as to not limit the amount of vCPU/vMEM it can use, essentially letting it use the resources it needs when it needs it?


    Assuming you need to define a limit:

    To clarify the ask a little more you want to be able to schedule sizing up of a containerized workload on a certain day and time no matter what the resource utilization is.

    A a few questions on the ask:

    • Size up vCPU/vMEM limits or requests or both?

    • If both how would you like those defined (the same value or maybe the limits to be X% higher than requests for example)?

    Please let me know if you would like to discuss further via email or on a call,

    thanks,
